https://ctsuddeth.com/2019/05/25/avian-missing-link/#respondSat, 25 May 2019 12:14:28 +0000http://ctsuddeth.com/?p=60600Recently, a 163-million-year-old therapod dinosaur was discovered in China: Ambopteryx longibrachium. With bat-like wings that would have allowed it to glide. It was about a foot long and weighed less than a pound. It is in a family of scansoriopterygid dinosaurs that are the ancestors of birds. (its wings were membranous rather than feathered)

Lots to write about: a present-day mama-sized Ambopteryx attacks Louisville during the Derby, but the race must go on!

My story is Beware the Blue Lady, part of a Bookriders anthology.

They have negative weight, and if you hit one, it comes after you instead of away from you. (anti-matter is different, it has a negative charge)

Scientists believe that the 95% of the universe that is missing is negative mass matter. I am still learning, but anything that does not obey the laws of physics is fair game for my writing.

Traumatized by the effects of Compression travel, soldier Darren Loughlin holds the key to the fate of Earth’s Martian colonies. With his Battalion decimated, his fractured memory holds the only clues to the colony-wide communications blackout.

With time running out, Darren pieces together his year-long tour of duty with the Mars Occupation Force. Stationed in the Nazi-founded New Berlin colony, ruled by the brutal MARSCORP, he recounts his part in the vicious, genocidal war against the hostile alien natives and all who question Terran supremacy.

But as his memories return, Darren suspects he is at the centre of a plot spanning forty years. He has one last mission to carry out. And his alien enemies may be more human than he is…

“An action packed Military Science Fiction novel that kept me on the edge of my seat. Who would have thought aliens, Nazis, and time travel would have blended together so well?” – Jamie Kramer, Books and Ladders

I joked that Hagar the Horrible is my favorite Viking. Who is he? they asked. Don’t you read the Sunday Comics in the newspaper? Everyone shakes their head. Don’t your parents read the newspapers? I ask. Everyone shakes their head again. Please bring back the newspaper habit!
